Having Chinese food in Kyoto as dinner choice is "politically incorrect", in my view. Hence I was quite skeptical when some of my family members decided to go to this restaurant after we walked around the whole food/dining floor of Takayashima department store. The internal decoration is contemporary, simple and non-flashy, under the dimmed light, fairly "understated". We were offered in a separate room because of the size of our group. The menu looks and feels exactly like what you would get in a Chinese restaurant at Time Square Hong Kong, with items in both Chinese and English, besides Japanese description, though it did add a bit to my doubt that this place is a "tourist trap". After tasting the dishes, I had to admit I was delightfully surprised. Roast duck, seasonal vegetable with beancurd skin, pork in dark vinegar source, chilly flavoured king prawn,... all are quite quite authentically Cantonese, with balanced flavour, not overwhelming. The dish size is a bit small though. It almost makes me think each dish is only to serve one person. We doubled the order to compensate, which inevitably made the total bill kind of pricy. Overall, I\d say this Chinese/Cantonese restaurant is a recommendable option, if you feel like to have to have some Chinese meal in Kyoto.
